The winners of the 2021 photo competition: revealing the beauty of life
The first edition of the photo contest organized by the NeuroMarseille Institute was a success! We would like to thank all the amateur photographers, researchers, engineers or students for their participation. Among the thirty or so works that were received and evaluated, 18 were classified – one photograph per artist. The first 10 works have been selected by a mixed jury of professionals and peers. They will be exhibited in a gallery: those that were not selected will still be included in the printed catalogue of the exhibition.

Projet Virtual TP (projet pédagogique lauréat du Fonds d’Intervention Pédagogique)
Gaëlle Capraz and Christophe Lopez's project aims to propose a pilot study in order to mutualise all or part of the practical work of the "Life Sciences" mention from L1 to L3. They want to make it accessible at a distance, for all sites, in an interactive mode.
The goal is to synchronise work practices in order to offer identical practical work between the sites by combining classroom and virtual in a hybrid scheme. The proposal will not only make it possible to establish pedagogical coherence between the courses but will also open up a bridge between the various licences. In addition, this project will make practical work accessible to students with disabilities by offering an adapted format.
📌 These videos are a complement to the practical courses.

In this course, you will get an evidence-based look at the parts of the brain responsible for addiction, the changes in the brain that occur during addiction, the risk factors for addiction, and an overview of how different drugs affect the brain. We'll also explore the neurobiology and evidence for behavioural addictions and take a look at how addiction can be treated.
